Please see the definitions of those categories on this recently-updated page:

As always, if you or any other member want to offer suggestions for redefining
categories that are an improvement you're welcome to do so.

Right, and the list is not complete yet. It won't be complete until March
1st (and subject to review/approval during March).

It is not possible to make everyone happy.
As I said here:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1246481
"Ideally, we would hold off on these changes until the inventory system was
corrected and we could move all figures to counterparts. But people have been
asking for these figures to be considered figures for years and years, so I don't
see that it would really hurt anything to do it now."
I get your objections and I agree with them, to some degree. The addition of
the additional Thomas the Tank figures was not part of msSquirrel's original
request.

| Similarly, nearly all the brickheadz are brick built characters
so the relevant assemblies should be moved to minifigures.

Reading between the lines here I figure (no pun intended) that you don't
think the current system used by Bricklink to define what makes a minifigure
a minifigure makes a whole lot of sense? Well I don't disagree....
Personally I've always felt that a minifigure should only be defined as minifigure
if the build includes that all important standard Torso design:-
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1192759
It may not be the perfect solution but at least we would then have some kind
of guidelines to follow which will prevent any old buildable character (however
large) from being categoried alongside what most would consider an actual minifigure?

Why is
moved to plate, modified
and
moved to plate, wedge?
I think the wedge base should be the defining characteristic.
There are other parts in the wedge, plate category that have modifications apart
from the wedge.

Now these are minifigures:
Shouldn't these parts and similar
[p=52053]
be moved into a new category: Parts Duplo Minifigure Modified head
Or get rid of the minifigures category completely by renaming it, then have a
minifigures category inside that so that the word minifigures corresponds to
what LEGO and most LEGO fans call minifigures, figures assembled from minifigure
parts.

Yes, I believe so.
|
It should at least by 1 x 1 x 4 - then the height would be implicit. I don't
think we have this option with the antenna in the OP since that doesn't have
a stud holder - it doesn't have a length and width, only a height.
|
I would be fine with doing it that way, also.
